Re: 'Cruel and unusual'
Jerk and Jerker still work in Sweden but I don't think anyone actually use it for their sons anymore.
Jerk and Jerker are pronounced something like yairk and yairk-ehr but since most non-Scandinavians don't know that it's internationally a pretty bad name.I had a teacher named Jerker when I was in high school. One of the best teachers I've ever had. Makes me think Jerker isn't that bad. I also had a teacher named Tutti (here it's like the English Titti). It was her full name. I remember we thought it was a weird and funny name and poor Tutti, it was not easy being named Tutti and teaching eleven-year-olds.
